I cannot download a PDF file by right-clicking and "save link as"

I think that previously I could do this, and I still can in IE (ugh!), but in Firefox, when I try to "save link as" from a Google search, Firefox tries to download "url."

I cannot download a pdf file that was sent to me.

Sent from where? By whom? It may not be a PDF at all, just a virus in disguise. That aside, we need some system info at least...

How do I right click and save pictures in flash

Hey,
I am wondering if its possible to create a flash button that
says 'save as' when you right click one of the pictures in flash.
Just like in HTML how you can easily right-click and save a
picture, I want to be able to do the same thing but in flash. Is
this possible? Would I use something like dynami pictures that are
outside the flash file but in the same folder and will be placed in
the flash movie when called upon? I very curious, please let me
know of any ideas you may have.

Call the button "target" (instance name) than your photo
image1234567.jpg
and paste it to timeline frame.
If you right click Target Movie clip, you will have the
download option.
Need to upload and test online, won't work in working
environment or browser
run from desktop.
function down() {
fileRef.download(foto, "image1234567.jpg");
var foto = "image1234567.jpg";
var my_cm = new ContextMenu ();
var menuItem_cmi = new ContextMenuItem ("Download The
Photo", down);
my_cm.customItems.push(menuItem_cmi);
my_cm.hideBuiltInItems();
target.menu = my_cm;
var listener = new Object ();
listener.onSelect = function (file) {
trace ("onSelect: " + file.name);
listener.onCancel = function (file) {
trace ("onCancel");
listener.onOpen = function (file) {
trace ("onOpen: " + file.name);
listener.onProgress = function (file, bytesLoaded,
bytesTotal) {
trace ((("onProgress with bytesLoaded: " + bytesLoaded) + "
bytesTotal: ") + bytesTotal);
listener.onComplete = function (file) {
trace ("onComplete: " + file.name);

Using firefox 14.0.1. Loading a link using right-click and "Open Link In New Window", results in new window opening but address bar does not show URL..

Using firefox 14.0.1. Loading a link using right-click and "Open Link In New Window", results in new window opening but address bar does not show URL. However, if I right click on a link and select "Open Link In New Tab", the Tab shows URL in address bar. So it's working when it's a New Tab but not a New Window.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

Often I cannot download a pdf file. I get a blank window. I do not havethis problem with Safari.

On many sites I cannot open or download a pdf file. A new window opens, but it is blank. I have no trouble downloading from the same site using Safari.

Hi anilkagda,
Acrobat passwords are case-sensitive, so please be sure that you're entering it exactly as it was provided. If you are, you may have been given the wrong password. Your best bet would to be to go back to the person who supplied the file and ask them to verify the password.
Good luck!
Best,

When trying to download a pdf file, it just hangs and locks up my computer causing me to power down. How do I fix this?

Whenever I try to download a pdf file, Firefox hangs and my only recourse is to power down and power up again. I have to use IE to get the pdf I am after.

You have two PDF "reader" plugins installed. Try disabling one of them. Tools > Addons > Plugins

No reason to shout , typing in all caps is considered shouting.
What happens when you right click the file?

Error: I cannot view any PDF files without launching Reader and accepting end User agreement. I have already downloaded Reader.

I am getting an error message when I go to open a PDF file on my MAC that says "Before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the end user agreement. I have already downloaded Reader many times and followed all of the troubleshooting options. I have matched up my software, which is the latest version and checked to make sure my internet security is enabling java script. I don't know what to do. Please help.

Chrome uses it's own pdf viewer. That's why you don't get the message.
If you are still having the problem on a Mac try:
Make sure your files are not hidden : http://osxdaily.com/2009/02/25/show-hidden-files-in-os-x/
Quit Safari and Adobe Reader if running.
Go to HD/<Users>/<user name>/Library/Preferences/ delete com.adobe.Reader.plist
Launch Adobe Reader from /Applications/
You should be prompted to accept EULA.
If on a Windows machine, do what Bernd described above. Launch Adobe Reader on it's own, not by double clicking a pdf or a link in a browser.

HT5313 I cannot download & open pdf files on Safari but can do so on Google Chrome browser?

After upgrading to Lion 10.7.4 , I cannot open pdf files on Safari 5.1.7 but can do so on Google chrome browser? I get a message that the file cannot be exported?

look in
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
and remove any with 'pdf' in the name, then restart safari.
failing that - check in the same folder within your user 'home' Library
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
in either case, you can triple-click the names above to select, then ctrl-click & choose Services - Open which should open a new Finder window showing the folder

If you use rwclient you could that easily, from a Form, it requires additional steps.

How do I emulate the "save file as" from IE on Firefox? I have a web site that instructs me to right-click and "save file is".

IE has an option of "save target as".
